While the procedure is straightforward, you may want a brush to apply the color over a scratch. Small blemishes that may still be present will be highlighted or slight variations across the surface will be accentuated by the shadows that are cast when natural or artificial light hitting the painted surface is viewed at low or acute angles (glancing light). Why? It is not feasible to achieve a perfect match when fresh paint is applied to the same paint that has been adversely affected by in-service conditions such as weather, wear and soiling.
